It is sometimes called 'healthy hay', and it is a firm favourite with bees. As a feed it stands as the third plant in Simple System's range alongside grass and lucerne — and at 19.3% protein and 1.71% calcium, it is genuinely nutritious rather than merely different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts distinguishing property is condensed tannins. These naturally occurring compounds aid the digestion of protein, which means a horse gets more out of the protein in the rest of its ration. Fed alongside hay and grass, sainfoin does more than add variety — it improves what the horse extracts from everything else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\n\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% pure sainfoin, free from binders and additives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e19.3% crude protein and 1.71% calcium, supporting muscle and bone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRich in natural minerals and trace elements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA good source of condensed tannins, which aid the digestion of protein.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery palatable, and easily accepted by horses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdds a third forage type to the diet, supporting a varied gut microbiome.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for horses that cannot tolerate lucerne.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\n\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePregnant mares, particularly in the last trimester.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoals and young growing horses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompetition horses and older horses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses in recovery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\n\u003ch5\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduce gradually over a week, as with any new feed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeally fed soaked.
